Abstract

This is the second of three articles which provide an up-dated comprehensive review of the internationalisation of higher education in the United Kingdom. It presents the key findings of the review with regard to the financial returns to both onshore and offshore overseas student provision. The two main conclusions are (i) the need to maximise the recruitment of high-value onshore overseas students is the main financial driving force for the internationalisation of education in the UK. The income generated from onshore overseas students is now critical for the institutional survival of a sizeable minority of UK universities; and (ii) the financial returns to offshore provision are generally quite low and, in overall terms, account for less than 4% of total tuition income. In the face of these low returns coupled with other non-financial factors, UK universities are increasingly rationalising/consolidating their offshore provision.
